This Fire Chief Lost His Job for His Christian Beliefs, But the Way He’s Firing Back Is 100% Awesome

Kelvin Cochran of Atlanta was recently fired from his position as a fire chief for speaking about his Christian faith in a self-help publication. Cochran told “Fox and Friends” that it was his stance on the biblical definition of marriage that caused him to lose his job.

“What they’re trying to say is that no citizen has a right to engage in free speech about their faith outside of worktime, unless they get the permission from the government first,” said Cochran’s attorney, David Cortman. “The only permission slip the chief needs is the First Amendment.”

Now, Cochran is taking legal action against the city, and he says he wants to be “vindicated from the injustice that was committed against him.”

“No American should have to be forced to make a choice between living out their faith and keeping their job,” he added.See more from this story in Cochran’s compelling interview below.
